We Are Different From Everyone Else

HIIT, Bootcamps, and Other Group Fitness Classes

Everyone does [roughly] the same thing
Encouragement and instructions, not coaching
Results plateau quickly

We challenge any fitness brand to match or beat our results. Similar price to personal training at a Starting Strength Gym.

Free Weights at a Large Format Commercial Gym

Unsure if form is correct or safe
Program is generic, not specific to you
No chalk, no platforms

Lines for racks during peak hours, poor equipment, no coaching, and no programming. Less expensive than a Starting Strength Gym.

Personal Training that isn't Starting Strength

Majority are inexperienced, uninformed coaches
Ineffective exercises, reps/set schemes, and loads
Results plateau quickly

We challenge any personal trainer to beat our results. More expensive than personal training at a Starting Strength Gym.

Strength: The Meta Adaptation

The process of getting stronger improves every aspect of your physical health. It has a surprisingly positive effect on mental health too.

As a Starting Strength trainee you will set new personal records three times per week. You will be doing things you didn't know you were capable of, every time you show up to the gym.

As you become stronger you will build lean muscle, increase bone density, reduce low-back pain, improve hormonal regulation, and enhance your day-to-day existence.

Starting Strength Gyms: The Most Efficient Way to Get Stronger

Join the gym and learn the lifts in an Intro Session
Attend your first training session
Track weights and measurements in your digital logbook
Follow your coaches programming and instructions
Get adequate rest and nutrition outside of the gym
Train three days per week
Add 10+ pounds of lean mass in 10 weeks*
*Applies to men ages 18-45. Women should expect 5+ pounds of lean mass. Trainees age 45+ will get stronger, but usually not as quickly.
